Riverfest Reflection

Our little town has a Riverfest celebration each year on Father's Day and high school Alumni weekend. So often, it is blustery and rainy...even cold. This year was one of the sunny years, however. The local Lions club now sponsors the event, which includes a "show and shine" car show, a quilt show, a treasure hunt, various booths, and the Rubber Duck Derby (this year more than 900 little ducks were sponsored at $2 apiece for the race down half a mile of Phillips Creek at the edge of town). The day ends with the high school alumni banquet, which generally serves 200-300 returning alumni.
